Fall Fair

One of my favorite memories, as a child, is entering projects into the local Fall Fair. You could enter anything from art work to baking to vegetable creations and so forth. I talked the boys into entering some things of their own this year. Walker was excited from the get go but Porter wasn't really all that interested until Walker was ready to walk out the door to go register. Porter decided last minute that he would draw a picture and he entered that.

Walker walked away with a first, second and third place ribbon for his entries and sadly, Porter didn't get a ribbon but was still very proud that they hung his picture up and everyone got to see it. Plus he told me now he has seen what the judges like and can do something similar next year. :)

I didn't get a picture of Walker's first prize lego creation before he tore it to pieces to create something new but I did get picture of the picture he drew and his name that he wrote out.

Walker's picture is the pink and yellow rocket(????) and Porter drew the colorful house at the top of the picture. He said those were the best stars he's ever drawn and was quite proud of himself. They can't wait to enter stuff next year and have already started thinking about what they want to enter.
